{"product_id":"20kg-turf-type-tetraploid-perennial-ryegrass-1","title":"20kg Turf Type Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 20kg grass seed mixture is based on tetraploid perennial ryegrass, bred specifically for rapid installation and tolerance of stress. Its tetraploid cultivars establish quickly even when soil temperatures are low and root deeply, helping with drought tolerance and disease resistance, while the diploid cultivar in the blend adds high shoot density and greater wear tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved sward quality after summer stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved sward quality after winter stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower fertiliser and chemical input costs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent winter performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRapid installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent disease resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood wear tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlossy, dark green colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast green-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBetter sward quality after stress\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn southern and continental parts of Europe, this tetraploid mixture recovers better from drought and heat stress as well as from winter stress, outperforming ordinary diploid ryegrasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRapid installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tetraploid seeds are 1.5 times larger than those of normal turf grasses. They produce stronger seedlings that establish faster, leaving less opportunity for weeds to take hold. This makes the mixture an ideal choice for oversowing perennial ryegrass, and it is also very well suited to oversowing Bermuda in the transition zone, giving fast establishment and excellent turf quality but no more clippings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBetter disease resistance and stress tolerance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mixture offers improved disease resistance in both warm and cold conditions. In trials running from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean it has shown greater resistance to F.E. rust, Fusarium, Elminthosporium, Drechslera and Red Thread, and it is very well suited to extensive management conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGood wear tolerance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn German trials, the tetraploid varieties Double and Tetragreen scored 8 for sport\/wear conditions on a 1-9 scale.
